Jonathan Safran Foer's protagonist in his acclaimed novel Everything is Illuminated travels to Ukraine to look for a woman who allegedly saved his grandfather from anti-Jewish pogroms. In Foer's Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close, protagonist Oskar Schell reacts to losing his father during the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center. Tonight, Foer discusses the role of terror in literature — clearly a preoccupation throughout his work.
